 The Medieval Time Period When I think of the medieval time period the first thought that comes to my mind is knightly hood. While the life of a knight was full of danger and violence, the knights themselves still reminded proud and honorable. To me the ideal behavioral and moral foundations of a knight should be present in modern day. Their never-ending level of respect and kindness to all are traits that everyone should desire to have. In modern day society it is my personal opinion that the level of respect people have for others is deplorable. I think this is due to selfishness and a lack of emotional control. In the medieval times if someone of higher authority stated an opinion or request, you respected it no matter how much you disagreed. This is because they had a much better self control and high respect to everyone. Also, I feel that knights would think before they would act to make sure their actions were proper. This does not occur nearly as much as it should today, and I can account for many whom have acted improperly stating, “I do not know why I did it. I just wasn’t thinking.” If the behaviors of society was more like the behaviors of knights I believe there would be much more structure in the world.

I wish that knights and their Code of Conduct were still around. That way you would know that someone would do the right thing. -Kevin B.
